First of all, I want to emphasize how seriously we take everyone's safety during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue monitoring the situation around the country/globe, and if necessary will adjust our plans accordingly. All wedding festivities will strictly comply with local and CDC recommendations and requirements. Please stay tuned for any unforeseen changes or updates to the wedding weekend festivities as we get closer to July 3rd. As stated in our formal invitations, the RSVP deadline is June 1st. We chose the latest date we could to allow our friends and family as much time as possible to make a decision about attending. We also will be fully supportive of anyone who decides at the last minute not to come. Given the unknowns, we can't predict what will happen but we are hopeful for the best possible outcome. I, for one, am very excited about expanded access to vaccines. Erik, myself, and our families are fully vaccinated and hope all attending guests will be as well! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns (whether about the wedding or COVID/vaccines in general)! With love, Sammy :) P.S Here's a link for current CDC guidelines on safe activities if you've been fully vaccinated: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated.html
